Trains at over 200 kmph? Indian Railways builds high speed train testing track; details here

时速超200公里？印度铁路建设高铁测试轨道

Indian Railways is develo a dedicated high-speed test track for testing trains at speeds up to 220 kilometres per hour. The 59 kilometres long dedicated broad gauge track is being constructed between Gudha-Thathana Mithri in Jodhpur Division (about 70 kilometres from Jaipur) in Rajasthan.

The all elevated test track will also be used for testing of Vande Bharat Express trains in the coming years. Indian Railways claims that with the completion of this track project, India will be the “first country to have comprehensive testing facilities of international standards for rolling stocks.”

印度铁路公司正在建设一条高铁测试轨道，用来测试时速高达220公里的列车。这条59公里长的专用宽轨铁路位于拉贾斯坦邦焦特布尔省(距离斋浦尔约70公里)的Gudha-Thathana Mithri之间，目前正在修建中。

在接下来的几年内，印度也会用高架测试轨道来测试“致敬印度号”列车。印度铁路公司表示这条轨道项目完成后，印度将成为“第一个拥有符合国际标准的铁路列车综合测试设施的国家”。

Testing trains at 220 kmph

The high-speed dedicated railway tracks will consist of; 23 kilometres long main line, a high-speed loop at Gudha which will be 13 kilometres long, an accelerated testing loop of 3 kilometres at Nawa, and a 20 kilometres curve testing loop at Mithri.

According to North West Railway zone CPRO, the first phase of the high speed test track will be completed by December 2023. "The project is progressing well and we hope to complete the second phase by December 2024,” Captain Shashi Kiran told TOI.

测试时速220公里的列车

高铁专用轨道将包括23公里长的主干线，古达地区近13公里的高速环路，纳瓦地区3公里的加速测试环路，米特里地区20公里的曲线测试环路。

根据西北铁路区域新闻发言人的说法，高速测试轨道的第一阶段将于2023年12月完成。“该项目目前进展顺利，我们有望在2024年12月前完成第二阶段，”沙希·基兰告诉《印度时报》。

Indian Railways has said the high speed test track will allow for comprehensive testing facilities of trains and rolling stock components viz. both dynamic oscillation trials (up to a speed of 220 kmph) and static assessment of the vehicles duly evaluating all safety parameters. “There will be study of rail-wheel interaction forces, crashworthiness testing, stability testing, twist & yaw testing, coefficient of flexbility test, wheel offloading test, X-factor test, bogie rotational resistance tests and accelerated testing of components are being developed in the project,” railways said.

印度铁路公司表示，高速测试轨道将为火车和机车车辆部件提供全面的测试设施，即动态振荡试验(最高速度为220公里/小时)和静态评估，充分评估所有安全参数。铁路部门表示：“该项目将研究轨道-车轮之间的相互作用力，进行耐撞性、稳定性、扭曲和偏航、柔性系数、车轮卸载、突发因素、转向架旋转阻力以及正在研发的部件的加速测试。”

Why Indian Railways needs high-speed test tracks

The project for testing trains at 220 kmph assumes significance since Indian Railways is in the process of finalising a tender for manufacture of 100 aluminium Vande Bharat train sets. Indian Railways currently manufactures stainless steel trains, and this would be the first time that the national transporter is looking to acquire prowess to make aluminium trains.

为什么印度铁路需要高速测试轨道

测试时速220公里列车的项目具有十分重大的意义，因为印度铁路公司近期将最终敲定100辆铝制“致敬印度号”列车的招标结果。印度铁路公司目前生产的是不锈钢列车，而这将是这家国营运输公司首次有望获得制造铝列车的技术。

There is bit of incorrrect information; it is not right to say that India will be thei first country to have test track. In USA there is test track with comprehensive testing facitlty for rolling stock and track componets .  

我发现有一点错漏之处；说印度会是第一个拥有测试轨道的国家，这明显不对。美国早就有测试轨道了，有对列车和轨道部件进行综合测试的设备。

Indian Railway engineers are technically superior as has been demonstrated with successful manufacturing & running of new found Vande Bharat trains lead by Mr Mani former GM of ICF - Chennai. Now Vande Bharat trains are manufactured at 6 different locations in India !

Nehruvian Socialism ensured that the masses remained backward and poor, and totally dependent on Sarkar, their Maa Baap, for their exstence, in the form of subsidies...handouts; so the they remained poor, and so did the nation. The very thought of such things as high-speed trains would've been unthinkable to them...like something from outer space.

尼赫鲁的社 会主义让普罗大众至今依然落后贫穷，完全依赖补贴和施舍度日；所以老百姓一贫如洗，国家也一贫如洗。对他们来说，高铁这种东西是完全不敢想象的……就像是太空来的东西。

The high rise for trains over 220 km ph can be built over the exsting tracks and replacing them with rail track guard. This will reduce land acquisition.,For speed trains curves should be reduced so where the line can deviate the exsting track for straightened high speed track over board, lands can be acquired.

时速超过220公里的列车可以在现有轨道上建造，用轨道护栏取代它们。这将减少征地。对于高速列车来说，应该减少弯道，这样线路就可以偏离现有的轨道，在板上拉直高速轨道，就可以获得土地。

Nevertheless completion of facilty will be a welcome step. It is high time that criterion for running trains beyond 160 kmph is expediously finalsed by Railways by the time test track is ready so that testing new rolling stock and track component is carried out for semi high trains.

测试铁轨项目的完工会受到大家的欢迎。在测试轨道准备就绪之前，印度铁道部应该尽快为时速超过160公里的列车制定运行标准，以便对半高铁进行新的列车和轨道部件的测试。

During Vajpayee's time instead of corruption filled Golden Quadrilateral Highways, they should have constructed Golden Quadrilateral high Speed 4 track railway lines.

在瓦杰帕伊时代，他们不该修建腐败丛生的黄金四边高速公路，他们应该修建黄金四边高速4轨铁路。

Corruption exsts even now at a massive scale. More emphasis is given towards construction of highways & expressways than railways in order to satisfy auto industry & road transport lobby. Compare the length of highways/E-ways vs railways constructed under Modi govt. & you will get to know urself.

时至今日，腐败现象仍很普遍。为了让汽车工业和道路运输游说团体满意，政府更重视高速公路的建设，而非铁路。看看莫迪政府修建的高速公路和铁路的里程数，你就明白了。

The first phase will be completed in a few monts (Dec 2023). That means the ground work was on for quite some time. Were the media slee ? So much of construction wasn't done in a day.

Better to have dedicated tracks and unbranched halts on same tracks for in-between fewer cities/stations, on the pattern of metros less boggies, like 5 to 7 and multiple consecutive trains.

最好能修建专用的轨道，在城市间减少停靠站点，就像地铁那样，比如只设5到7站，多趟列车连续发车。

Modi ji envisions for the next 50 years, not 25-30. Track testing facilities are an absolute minimum and a prerequisite. He will ensure India's VB trains will touch 260 KMPH max, by 2030. Of course, everything needed to achieve this will also be planned & tested. The benchmark is being raised every year. Impossible becomes possible.  

莫迪设想的是未来50年的印度前景，而非区区25到30年的时间。轨道测试设施绝对是最低要求和先决条件。到2030年，莫迪会让印度的高铁达到260公里的时速。当然，实现这一目标所需的一切都需要计划和测试。不可能慢慢变成可能。

Thought the speed train testing track is also coming up in Gujarat, like the bullet train training Institute.

我还以为古吉拉特邦也会有高铁测试轨道，就像高铁培训学院一样。

Wise Desi • Sunil M • earth • 2 days ago

Yes you are correct but this is not for bullet train but Indian made high speed train. Also bullet trains are already tested as they run in Japan so no testing track. Gujarat institute is to train on installation of tracks and ….  

是的，你是对的，但这不是针对子弹头列车，而是针对印度制造的高铁。此外，子弹头列车已经在日本进行了测试，所以不需要建测试轨道了。古吉拉特邦学院会安排轨道铺设的培训。
